Fetches aggregated insider trading information for a given symbol.
AI agents call alphaIntelligence_insiderTransactions to retrieve information from MCP Avantage without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves financial data (insider trading information) but does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. While insider trading data is sensitive market information that could influence trading decisions if misused by an agent, the tool itself performs only a read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it "Fetches aggregated insider trading information" - a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data. The verb 'Fetches' and the context of querying historical insider transaction data indicates a read-only query.
